He himself said “I stabbed a person” and called 110… 35-year-old man of Chinese nationality “on the chest of a woman in her 20s at a hotel.” Haggard photo immediately after his arrest.

It was around midnight on February 25 when the police received a 110 call.

I stabbed a person.”

It was the suspect himself who reported that he had attempted to murder a young woman.

On February 25, the Ikebukuro Police Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department arrested the suspect, 35-year-old Hiroshi Shu, a Chinese national with an unknown occupation living in Toshima Ward, Tokyo, on suspicion of attempted murder. On the same day, he reported to the police that he had “stabbed” a woman who was staying with him at a hotel in Ikebukuro. Upon investigation by the police, the suspect admitted to the crime, saying, “I am sure that I stabbed the woman.

When police officers arrived at the hotel, they found Ms. A, a woman in her 20s, lying at the front desk with blood pouring from her chest. The police caught the suspect in the act, who was stunned on the spot, and caught him red-handed.

In the room where they were staying, a knife was found that was believed to have been used in the crime. Ms. A was conscious when she was transported to the hospital and is expected to survive, but she is said to be seriously injured with an unknown recovery.

It was not a spontaneous act.

A photographer for this magazine photographed the suspect’s transfer to the police station on February 26, immediately after his arrest. He looked exhausted, with no clear line of sight. When he noticed the assembled press, he quickly turned his face down and got into the convoy.

Former Kanagawa Prefectural Police detective and crime journalist Taihei Ogawa commented, “The point of the investigation will be to find out what happened to the two suspects.

The key point of the investigation from now on will be the details of the trouble that occurred between them. The focus will be on the relationship between Ms. A and Mr. Zhou. Was it a dating relationship, or was it a relationship between a service provider and a customer through a restaurant? If it was the former, it could have been a male-female relationship, and if it was the latter, it could have been trouble caused by the fees or the one-sided romantic feelings of the suspect Zhou.

In any case, the fact that the suspect had a knife in his possession suggests that he had some degree of premeditation in committing the crime. It is thought that he had been frustrated with Ms. A for some time, rather than acting out of the blue. Ms. A, who had collapsed at the front desk, is believed to have escaped from the room on her own while being victimized unilaterally by the suspect Zhou.

The police are waiting for her recovery and plan to hear more details from Ms. A.
